Hi Everyone,

I know KDP violates Control and Entry from CENTS (and potentially the Need) but would love to hear about your recent experiences.

Assuming you create high quality medium content or high content book and figure the ads out, is it possible to automate the process? I know you need to publish multiple boks to get majority of your sales just from a few of them :)

Or the competition and changes on the Amazon side force you to publish new content over and over to get some decent profit?

Thanks!
